BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation type and weather conditions.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the flames will lift or "ghost". This can be danger- ous. Inspect the flames after installation to ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 49 shows a typical flame pattern.

If burner flame pattern differs from that de- scribed:

•turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap- pliance, page 28)

•see Troubleshooting, page 33

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass door panelwithcare.Donotstrike,slam or otherwise abuse glass. Do not operate fireplace with the glass doorunlatched, removed,cracked or broken.

WARNING: Do not use abra- sivecleanersasthismaydamage glass. Use a nonabrasive house- hold glass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial start-up a slight film may form on the glass due to paint curing. The glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the first two weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during each heating season, depending on the usage and circumstances present. Refer to Remov- ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 25 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.
